    ! Folder reports and File Info to Clipboard operations returned 
      wrong byte counts for files larger than 2 GB. Fixed.
    ! In a find results list if you deleted or moved one or more files 
      then the resulting list had the correct file focused (dotted line) 
      but not selected. Fixed: now it's focused and selected.
    + Configuration/Previewed Formats: now you can choose which web 
      formats you (don't) want to preview.

Code: Select all

v4.00.0136 - 19.07.05 11:16
    * "Keep Particular Characters..." and "Search and Replace..." (menu 
      File/Rename Special): now by default the extension will be 
      affected as well by the rename operation. To skip the extension 
      you have to suffix <. to the rename command line.
    + Configuration/Colors: now you can change Tree and List text 
      colors, too.
    + Configuration/Colors: now you can as well edit that nice blue 
      color that's used in various places of the TrackerV3 UI which I 
      decided to call "Marked Text". Most notably this is the color of 
      the active filter tab captions within Find Files.
    + Added preview of *.pdf files (Portable Document Format).
    * Configuration/General: removed option "Remember previous scroll 
      position" (will be set to "yes" internally).
    + Configuration/General: added option "Forget history". If checked, 
      the history (items under menu Go) will not be remembered between 
      sessions.

    * INI-writing rewritten from scratch. Should be faster now than ever.

v4.00.0132 - 06.07.05 17:14
    * Trying to solve a minor issue with certain virus scanners (namely 
      a considerable slowdown of several seconds on app exit), settings 
      are now written to a temporary *.ini~tmp file (hopefully ignored by 
      the scanner), which is then renamed to *.ini.

Code: Select all

v4.00.0130 - 30.06.05 11:48
    + Configuration/File Info Tips: added checkbox "Only When Hovering 
      File Icon". If checked, File Info Tips will pop up only when you 
      move the mouse over a file's icon (else over icon or file name).
    * Button "Save Settings Now" (Configuration/General) again as before 
      v4.00.0128 (disabled while "Save Settings on Exit" is checked). To 
      have it always enabled was confusing because it lead users to think 
      they have to press it in order to activate and/or save configuration 
      changes.
      If you want to "save your settings now" (before exit) for some 
      reason you can always select menu File/Save Configuration As... 
      and overwrite your current INI file.

    + Image preview: Bitmap formats (BMP/RLE/DIB) info now shows the 
      correct compression type. Also added some tolerance against mal-
      or unusually formed bitmaps.
    + Configuration/General: added checkbox "Show hidden drives", which 
      allows you to show drives that Explorer and other file managers do 
      not show because they are marked as hidden.

    * Configuration files (aka INI files) now may contain blanks in the 
      name. If used as start parameter, the file name (without 
      extension *.ini) must be quoted if it contains any blanks, for example:
        TrackerV3.exe /ini="my ini file" mystartpath
    * Button "Save Settings Now" (Configuration/General) is now always 
      enabled (before, it was disabled while "Save Settings on Exit" was 
      checked.

Bah; those guidelines are for releases, not betas...

[admin]

What happened to the naming conventions of your beta install files?

It was just to test user awareness

No, it's better to stick to conservative naming conventions: lower case, no dot in the base, no version numbers. These are rules suggested up by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) and I decided to follow them.
You still find the major version number inside the ZIP.

[Chris Wood]

Same here.

I assume it's because only the latest beta is kept uploaded.

[Gandolf]

No Ralph, it's not just you. I was also puzzled by the naming and like you keep older versions all in a neat , numbered order.

    ! Hidden drives were shown. Fixed.

What happened to the naming conventions of your beta install files?

I was every now and then tempted to suggest to change the names to include the version, but now the orderly ones of TV3 fans - who keep older install files for a while - have to name them themselves completely, not just add the four digit version at the end - well maybe that's just me, and promise I'll get used to it, was just curious as to why.

EDIT:
    * BETA download package is from now on "trackerv3_install.zip"
      (was "TrackerV3_4.00_Install.zip" before). Lowercase is cooler, 
      there should not be a dot in the base, and a version number 
      neither.

[Bumsrush]

I got it now. Lieblich! Will probe TrackerV3 before sending any more Fragen.

zoom bitmap...

But how? No space for zoom. Left-click the preview to jump-zoom to 100%. What more could you want, Dr. Bumsrush? (Leaving the building now)
